Whether you are trying to provide tips for your clients or show a listing, Facebook Live might be the next best thing for your business.

What is Facebook Live?

Facebook live is a tool that is available to those who have an active Facebook account. You can use your phone, mobile device or even your computer to do a live video broadcast to all of your followers and/or friends on Facebook.

This tool will help you speak directly to your client base and may also lead you to a possible sale or new client.

How to Use Facebook Live

Using Facebook live is simple. You don't need much; you just have to have a working mobile device or computer and an internet connection to be able to go live. Then, all you have to do is go to your profile, and where you are able to post your status, click the tab that says 'Live Video.'

If you haven't already, Facebook may request permission to use your camera on your device. When prompted, all you have to do is grant Facebook permission to use your camera and you will be directed to start your live video.

This is your time to shine. Share real estate tips with your clients or even do a live video of a listing that you are working on. Your clients will be happy to see what you are working on or even to receive some advice. Just remember one thing: be yourself.
